Bierhaus opens in Mountain View

Earlier this year, restaurateur Ted Kim spent over $2 million building Steins Beer Garden in Mountain View. The 300-seat, 12,000 square feet beer garden, bar and restaurant has been a popular post-work destination for the Silicon Valley minions, and other nearby businesses appear to be taking note.

About two blocks and 0.2 miles away, fellow restaurateur Mike Finley has decided to morph his restaurant, Steak Out, into a German beer house and beer garden …. aptly named Bierhaus.

Considering the way that the space breaks down — 45 seats indoors and 250 seats outdoors — the beer garden thing seems like a pretty logical step. And let’s be honest, he got a good website URL: bierha.us

Naturally, beer is front and center, with 99 bottles of beer — see what he did there? — and another 18 on tap (to view the bottle list, click here and for the tap list, click here). There is also a full food menu, consisting of a burger made with Marin Sun Farms beef, ground daily, and a brettljause platter of cured meats, cheeses, pickles, spreads and breads.
